Spectators

As first time spectators at your horse trials on Saturday we just wanted to say how impressed we were. It was well laid out, plenty of parking for cars and spectators had their own signs, how nice.

Spectators are always welcome at events at Carlton.

Viewing
The BE Carlton Horse Trials is perhaps the most interesting of our events to come and watch as the competition involves dressage, show jumping and cross country. The dressage and show jumping are all held close to the house and parking area. The cross country can be viewed from the superb vantage point of the top of the hill in the Meadow ground where a riders progress can be easily followed.

Trade Stands
There are a number of trade stands for a little retail therapy, including luggage, furniture, clothing, jewellery, china and more (trade stands page).

Refreshments
Refreshments will be available all day - baguettes and freshly filled rolls, hot and cold drinks, delicious bacon butties and snacks from Smithy's aswell as strawberrys and cream from the Waitrose stand. Something for everyone
